I finished up clearing the drive way and paths of snow and decided to hit the little hill in front of my house. Cool little chute at the top and a big right turn down in to the front yard of my house. I was going to hike the tiny wood shot in back of the house but the thick wool sock/ski boot combo was killing me. Nothing special, just f'ing around.

Tight at the top...

Awesome! Way to go after it! If my yard had any sort of pitch to it at all I would have been out there with my daughter today...

:lol: There were many times I was tempted to ski down our street; that's a decent hill. I don't think my bases would appreciate that, however.

:D

Hell yeah..yesterday I was working on my mule kick..when you are in the air..kick your legs to the side..extra stoke points if you hit a beachball midair..Jimmy Buffett fans would like that..I think backyard turns are cool as all heezy. I might hit a cool hill within my apartment complex..it's between powerlines and drops about 45 vert in the length of a football field..maybe I can have a snowmobile tow me in for extra stoke and speed..:daffy:
